Hi Zoe
I had a great reply typed out but the spam message hit and that was that.

i'm glad your eldest daughte is going to do her a levels in local college. without the pressure of attending 'school', she will hopefully get the results whe wants in an environment she is comfortable in.

i'm fully convinced that school in it's normal form is not for everyone.

educational cutbacks are terrible. they're everywhere and they can have such an effect on children when a teacher they are just getting used to is replaced with another. but government decisions eh!!

take care and enjoy the weekend.
